MarkStrittmatter posted:Good afternoon, last October I purchased a Weaver two bay Pennsy coal hopper at York.
I didn't look that close and I wasn't thinking about 2 -Rail Trucks until I got the hopper home and removed it from it's box and discovered it had plastic trucks and plastic wheels, see attached photo's.
My question is will MTH 30-89002, 3 rail trucks attach to this Weaver hopper without a lot of rework to the hopper itself ?
Heading for York on Friday and was going to keep a look out for some replacement trucks for this hopper.
If the MTH 3-rail trucks will work my search will be easy.
Thanks in advance
Hi Mark.MTH trucks aren't a good fit for the Weaver car design without drilling into the chassis. If you just need to 3-rail the hopper, I have spare 3-rail wheels and 3-rail coupler arms for Weaver trucks. Drop me an E-mail with your shipping address and I'll send them out.
